Hello my dear crafty friends and welcome to my new Tando project.
This time I made a wall decoration on a base of Tando grid chipboard only.
No background chipboard or canvas or wooden piece is used and all Tando and other products were just collaged to make this piece as my tribute to all different arts.

Some of Tando products used here are retired and not in the shop (the music instruments on the background).
I added a few clay pieces that I made at home such as a violin, mask and frame.

Each and every piece was painted with different paint to get this worn look.

Hi! Dana here today sharing the Mixed Media Board I altered for the Anything Goes theme this week. My girls have just a couple more weeks of Summer before the school year begins and we are busy organizing supplies, shopping for new clothes and shoes, and preparing mentally for the upcoming year. I definitely have school on the brain and had a lot of fun creating this piece.

I started by applying a coat of chalkboard paint onto a mixed media board. Once that was dry, I spread a thin layer of spackle over the Letters Mask. Next, I cut a school girl from patterned paper and glued her to the board. I made a small embellishment with a Star Button that I painted bright yellow and then outlined with a black paint pen. I added a brass scissors charm and tied it to the button with a piece of red twine. I finished this board with a teacher's pet die-cut.

Hellooooo! Today I have a 3D project using Kate Crane's Ministry of Mixology (April2017) dividers and a host of other Tando bit and pieces. When I was doing Kate's class in April I could see straight away that they could be shelves so I have made a little cupboard!

Hi folks. Lisa here and welcome to my blog post for Tando. This week the theme is Summer.

Here is what I did...

I used one of the Tando long tags (they come in a pack of 5)and to start, I gave it a coat of DecoArt white gesso.

I used a selection of DecoArt Media Acrylic paints to paint the background of the tag.

I used the Tando seaside embellishments and popped out all the pieces I wanted to use. I gave them a coat of white gesso, added some DecoArt texture sand paste to the sandcastle, then painted them using the DecoArt Media paints.

When everything was dry, I adhered all the pieces on to the tag.

To finish, I tied some spotty ribbon on the top of the tag.

Thanks for popping by the Tando Blog today. If you would like to pop over to my blog, here's the link.

This week the designers were challenged to make Summer project and mine is this totally bright door hanger.

I used a couple of Tando masks to make the heat embossed background and worked with DecoArt Media line paints and mediums to make the background as shiny as it looks.
The chipboard shapes were painted and then covered with clear Crackle Glaze.
The birdy was covered with white crackle paint.

Can you see the difference of those two mediums? The glaze comes over the paint. The paint is covered with another paints/mists over the dry surface.

I also added the ceackle glaze over the edges and inside the " white spaces" and you can see it shown.

Hi! Dana here today sharing the Mixed Media Board I painted for the Color Theme this week. First, I primed a Mixed Media Board with DecoArt White Gesso. Next, I used DecoArt Acrylic Paint to add a blue sky and some water using a mix of purple, pink, and grey. Once the paint was dry I stamped a bright pink sun just above the horizon.

I used a black pen to add a quote. I finished this board with some pink and white paint dots and a splattering of gold shimmer mist.
